The issue of Rockband coming to Wii isn't so much a matter of if/when, but how.

A major problem with the Wii is that writing to an SD card would be just about the most useless thing out there. Each new downloadable song (if Nintendo would allow it) is huge - anywhere from 30 to 60 Megabytes per song.

So would they neuter Rockband like the PS2 version, disallow online play, no profiles, and just provide the instruments and songs, or attempt to do the "full" version that the PS3/X360 offer, with online multiplayer and bands, rich DLC content, customizable characters and such.

IMO, I really don't think that Harmonix will do it until Nintendo can provide a better online atmosphere for such an ambitious title. The Wii could offer EA/Harmonix a killing if they could use DLC - but with the horrible lack of space that the internal card offers might sway Harmonix in the wrong direction.

More than likely, RockBand 2, or similar would be on the Wii - juding by the succuess of GH3, Harmonix, I am sure, wants it on the Wii platform....But they've said they want to ensure the game is really "next-gen"....Which the Wii currently might not be able to offer.

 Whatever they did to require a 30-60MB file is just outright stupid.  The download should involve the actual song along with at most 500KB of data for what notes need to be played when and by who.  Thats just bad file formatting.

Unless there is something more to those files they should easily be able to cut it down to a 4-6MB average.
